Macally Apple iPad 2 BookStand2 Folio Case in Red
Not many cases come my way that are such a great style match to the iPad 2 as is the red Bookstand2R by Macally. The smooth, sleek red design compliments and enhances the Apple aesthetic. The Bookstand2R is a folio-style case that not only gives you a useful video-watching stand but also tough protection on the front and back of your iPad 2.
Pros
- Keeps the Apple iPad 2 design
- Smooth and durable outside
- Incredibly thin
Cons
- Awkward viewing angle
- Magnets could utilize sleep/awake function
- Edges are exposed on most sides
Overview
Macally’s red Bookstand2R is simple but full of style. Custom fit to the iPad 2, the Bookstand2R is a sleek folio case & stand combo. The outside is a smooth rubberized material and the inside has a nice microfiber suede—the combo keeps the case lightweight but protective. I like how simply the iPad 2 snaps into place and how precise the cut out is for the rear camera. For using the stand, simply fold back the front cover like an Apple Smartcover. Plus, it has integrated magnets in the cover to keep the case fully closed when not being used. This is a great feature that won’t get in the way of the Apple design. At a great price, the Bookstand2R is definitely worth checking out.

| Rating | Description |
|---|---|
| N/A | |
| 3.5 | Functionality: The biggest problem here is that the stand doesn’t do what it is supposed to: prop up the Apple iPad for watching & typing. You can try to (more or less) watch movies with the stand but it is not stable at all. |
| 4.0 | Protection: The tablet is exposed on the side edge next to the volume rocker, which might get dinged up over time. On the top, the tablet is fully exposed so just make sure to keep an eye out. There is some exposed edge on the bottom, but this is good because it doesn’t muffle the sound. |
| 3.0 | Quality: The materials are good quality but lack a long-lasting feel as is the same case with other Macally products. But it keeps the price down! |
| 3.0 | Value: For $35, this folio has an amazing value compared with other folios—good protection and nice style. Unfortunately the dysfunctional stand significantly brings the value down. |
| 3.4 | Overall: Mediocre Excellent value for a useful product by a reputable brand. The Bookstand2 you get both a case and a stand. There are some serious drawbacks though, mainly that the stand function does not work for typing and is not sturdy for watching videos. If you only need a case, then this will work! |
